So i bought this last week, It came over from the USA a few months ago.
I'd never even heard of a cougar before but when i saw this i had to buy it
I still don't know much about them.
I have a 1969 with a 351 windsor (i'm assuming 2v)
It has disc brakes on the front already which saves me upgrading them, but i will be getting the booster and calipers serviced ASAP.
Its got tires on it which are 7 years old 195/60/15 fronts, and 235 rears.
So i'm looking at putting on a set of BFG radial TA, 235/60 front and 275/60 rear (mainly just to increase the traction/safety, not so i can drag)
I'm looking into putting on new springs and shocks too, and it floats around like a boat at the moment. Advice on what to use would be appreciated. It like to keep it at its current height.
I'm after some headers/extractors to suit it too, haven't found anywhere that has some to fit it so far...
If you see anything odd/wrong about the car, please point them out, as i wouldn't know what is right.
I just bought like $500 worth of new rubbers and bit and pieces from westcoastcougars online.
Any advice is welcome!
